Hinn Íslenzki Þursaflokkur
To celebrate its 30 year anniversary “Hinn íslenzki Þursaflokkur” is going to perform in Laugardalshöll, Reykjavík on 23. of February. The band has not been active since 1982 so it will be a memorable moment when the band climbs on stage and plays the most famous songs again with the support of the well known Icelandic chamber orchestra “CAPUT“. Egill Ólafsson, Haukur Tómasson, Lárus H. Grímsson, Samúel Jón Samúelsson, Rikharður Örn Pálsson and Tatu Kantomaa have arranged the “þursa-music” for CAPUT and Guðni Franzson will conduct the chamber orchestra. In the “Þursaflokkur” itself Eyþór Gunnarsson is replacing the late Karl Sighvatsson on keyborads, otherwise the band is the same: Egill Ólafsson, Ásgeir Óskarsson, Tómas M. Tómasson, Þórður Árnason and Rúnar Vilbergsson.
